Scenario

When families lose their spiritual anchor

My grandmother is dying and she's the one who held our family's faith traditions together and we're all realizing we don't know how to be spiritual together without her guidance. Some of us want to try to continue what she taught us and others feel lost without her interpretation and we're afraid her death will mean the death of something sacred we shared.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

A family faces the prospect of spiritual orphanhood as the keeper of their religious memory prepares to leave them to find their own way.
